Theatrical costumes need to meet different demands
than reenactment costumes,
and theatrical costumes often need to be made on a
tight deadline to boot.
Comparing the two is like comparing apples and
oranges, and
expecting complete historical accuracy of theatre
costumes is absurd.
Compromises?
When the performers are required to provide their own costumes at
their own expense. 20 different people will each compromise in 20
different ways: this one for vanity, that one for cost, another for a
favorite color, she has a quick change, he changes from tux to tails
and so on.

Also in the theater, on top of budget limitations, there is also the

front row and the cheap seats Lighting, director's vision, and just

I can't see any mention of multiple parts, so it

And then there was the production of Auntie Mame.

I find that I can accept less than period correct costumes much easier in a
stage production than in movies or TV shows. Maybe that is because in most
stage productions, the scenery is suggested, a column standing for a tree in
one scene and a ship's mast the next, etc. Suggested costumes seem to
A Knight's Tale is a great example. I don't know much about the period,
but most of the costumes seemed okay. Except for the female lead. She stuck
out like a sore thumb. I especially remember the hat that looked like
something from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

It's funny, but actually, studying historic costume has made me
